Discrimination against people with a mental health diagnosis: qualitative analysis of reported experiences

“…The survey supported previous findings in relation to discrimination by family; over half of respondents reported discrimination from their family because of their diagnosis (Henderson et al, 2012).…”

“…Studies show that mental health discrimination is identified most frequently as occurring in interpersonal interactions with family being consistently reported as a primary source of discriminatory behaviours (Corker et al, 2013;Henderson et al, 2012;Lasalvia et al, 2012;Thornicroft & Kennedy, 2009).

“…We think this highlights the fallacy whereby clinicians may make unfavorable assumptions about the level of functioning of people with borderline personality disorder during their daily lives based on their presentation during a crisis. Our findings also demonstrate that the same issues of dignity, respect, and autonomy identified in global surveys of discrimination among people with severe mental illness (42,43) are important to people with borderline personality disorder.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Mental Illness Stigma and Discrimination Among Californians Experiencing Mental Health Challenges

“…The CWBS is also the first study to assess the pervasiveness of self-stigma (i.e., negative feelings about one's own mental illness) and experiences of mental illness-related discrimination using a sample that is representative of individuals who are at risk for or are experiencing mental health problems.
